They hand out these diagnoses legitimately sometimes, but they also hand them out because they don't want to say, "People are assholes who will socially exclude people because of how they look or how much social value they are perceived to possess". It's really strange, isn't it, how many "borderline spectrum" people are really funny-looking or are not athletic, isn't it?

Literally I know someone who was diagnosed autistic. He looksmaxxed and made a lot of friends and the doctor (a literal fucking doctor) said the autism cured itself.

>Autism is not real. You can't even define it.

real autism is a severly disabling condition that leaves those afflicted unable to take care of themselves or earn a living , often they cant even speak normally. Today people who are eccentric or like things like computers or trains are being called autistic but its an insult to people with the real condition.

Exactly, Asperger’s is a myth and honestly the entire world should be pissed off at these fake mental disorders that are just a result of personality quirks. We have a bunch of high IQ virgin needs claiming to be autistic because of this when in reality all they need to do is go outside and work on their social skills which can be fixed, not real autism.

You are correct.
Hopefully autism (((spectrum))) will be widely regarded as outdated pseudoscience in the future and all those quacks lose credibility.

I thought it was an anomalous degree of tunnel vision.

Or something like OCD.

Something about overspecialization of the left brain, where as schizophrenia is the opposite,the overspecialization of the right brain

How is it possible to get diagnosed with both?

Autism brought you Task Manager, Windows copy protection, and Space Cadet Pinball.

After the lobotomy, I would never trust a psychologist/psychiatrist to get things right again.

Task Manager and Space Cadet Pinball gave me autism.

Ut's often the opposite, and autists are unusually good looking, and physically tougher.
I think the most common "problem" is that tgey react to bullying, and somebody taught the children to bully those even harder.

Autism is when your neocortex works, as opoosed to neurotypicality, which is when your neocortex doesn't work.
Any autistic disability results purely from discrimination.
In the 19th century, Phineas Gage lobotomized himself by accident, and stopped being autistic. A centurely later the exact same injury was used to "cure" people whose neocortex was still fully working.
Schizophrenia probably used to mean those whose neocortex was disabled to a higher degree that was typical at the time, it has ceased to have any meaning, tge previously schizophrenic behaviour is now considered within the social norm.

There is a physical component to Schizophrenia. You just got desensitized to it due to it being a buzzword. Ashwaghanda is used to treat and calm people with it. Keep in mind these are all humans terms to describe human behavior. Our understanding will be vastly different in fifty years. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31529808/

You're arguing with someone who thinks that high levels of lead are necessary for neurodevelopment.

Have you ever ignored an autist that wants attention? They just give you an I'm not-getting-my-attentional-feedback goofball face. Beat your kids to avoid autism.
